This magnificent manor house, built in 1900 for the judge of Monestiés, exudes authentic charm with its numerous fireplaces, period woodwork, and majestic wooden staircase. Bathed in natural light, it stands out for its generous volumes, impressive ceiling heights, and sweeping views over the surrounding countryside. Nestled in the heart of a beautifully treed 5-hectare park, it also includes two outbuildings: a secondary residence, a characterful former coach house with conversion potential, as well as large agricultural hangar. From the moment you step inside, the character is immediately apparent. The ground floor opens to the former judge?s office with external access, a welcoming 22 m² kitchen with a fireplace for grilling, a utility space, and a pantry. The spacious central hallway, adorned with elegant black and white tiles, leads to a 50 m² main living room with a veranda overlooking the garden, flanked by a more intimate 22 m² sitting room on one side and a warm dining room on the other. Ceiling height on this level reaches 3.75 meters. The first floor is accessible via the stunning central staircase with original stained-glass windows or a secondary staircase at the opposite end, which also leads to a shower room and access to the basement. Upstairs, you'll find eight bedrooms ranging from 17 to 30 m², each featuring original fireplaces, built-in wardrobes or dressing areas. Several already have plumbing connections in place for en-suite facilities. A shared shower room with toilet is also found on this floor, which enjoys a ceiling height of 3.20 meters. On the second floor, accessed via the service staircase, there are five more spacious bedrooms, a shared shower room, a small balcony, and two large convertible attics offering additional potential. This floor also includes a wide 49 m² hallway and maintains the same 3.20 m ceiling height. The attics already have water and electricity connections in place, making them ready for conversion into bathrooms. The 220 m² basement is a true asset. Accessible from both inside and outside (via a door and the garage), it spans the entire footprint of the house, with a ceiling height of 2.75 meter, perfect for storage or additional use. On the technical side, the main house is equipped with a gas-fired central heating system with a condensing boiler serving the ground and first floors. The ground floor has secondary glazing, and the stained-glass windows on the staircase have been preserved. The electrical installation was updated in 1995, with separate panels for each floor. The tiled roof is in excellent condition, though the septic system requires renovation. The 140 m² caretaker's house features a living room with open kitchen and terrace access, one bedroom, a bathroom, and separate WC on the ground floor. Upstairs, there's a mezzanine, a second bedroom, and an office. It also includes a private garden with barbecue, a garage, and multiple heating options: gas boiler, heat pump, or wood stove. The roof is also in perfect condition. The former coach house (140 m²), full of charm with original railings and large openings, could easily be transformed into a third residence with an adjoining carport. Water and electricity are already installed, and the roof has been recently redone. The property is accessed via a lilac-lined driveway or a service entrance. The park features a wide variety of mature trees, a large vegetable garden with irrigation via well and borehole, and a richly planted orchard (cherry, apple, pear, plum, fig trees, etc.). The 5 adjacent hectares include some gently sloping land. The grounds are suitable for a swimming pool, and a 13 x 30 m insulated steel hangar is ideal for housing equipment or animals. The setting is tranquil, surrounded by woodland, streams, and open fields. The neighbouring farm, located 90 meters away as the crow flies, was once part of the estate and is still active in cattle farming, without any direct view thanks to dense vegetation. The location is ideal: less than 10 minutes from Monestiés (bakery, grocery store, restaurants, primary school, vibrant local community), 15 minutes from Cordes-sur-Ciel or Carmaux with all amenities and its renowned Friday market. Albi, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is just 35 minutes away, and Toulouse International Airport can be reached in 1.5 hours.
